We're having an unseasonable spell of warm weather, and I felt like celebrating with a picture of a pretty, summer weight dress. This pamphlet doesn't advise which materials would be suitable for making the pattern up, but it seems evident that sheer material would be preferred. I'm thinking chiffon, thin cottons, light silks and rayon—which apparently was particularly prized for its ability to "flare" out.
3317 Frock closed at left underarm, skirt having attached bias or straight flare, attached at natural waistline, with or without wrist length sleeve.
It's interesting that the natural waistline is given as a point of interest. A year or so earlier and the waistline would have hovered around the hips; a year or so later and the natural waistline would hardly rate a mention!
